Hi Stephen,
I didn?t see this suggested previously, but yes I have made repeated attempts to
gain access to CRAN via R but to no avail. Mirroring CRAN is a really good idea,
but I?m not sure how to get R to recognise the local file locations when the
installation files seek access to CRAN via urls. Thanks again for your help.
Regards, James

As stated in an earlier email, this might be better directed to your IT? You
might think about mirroring CRAN locally, but this would be non-trivial.

Hi Stephen,
Thanks very much for getting back to me. My problem is described below. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, James
Hi,
Sorry for bothering you because I know that your time is voluntary, but I would
really appreciate some help. I work in a hospital in part of Ireland?s national
health service, a service which was struck by a massive cyber attack a couple of
years ago. Since then their security has been very tight, and I can?t access the
internet through my R or R Studio. To install packages I need to download the
files through a browser (Chrome by default) and install them from the files,
which is very tedious when you consider the amount of dependencies, but I?m
happy to do it.
This was working fine until yesterday when I had error messages trying to
install some packages. See enclosed ?S2? for example. It looks like it is trying
to download a file as part of the installation, but of course can?t. If you
could help with this I would be very grateful. Other examples are jqr,
protolite, curl.
I came across a different error message when trying to install openssl, although
the issue may be the same. For this package it says
Warning in file(name, "wb") :
cannot open file 'openssl/tests/keys/message.rsa.crypt': Permission
denied
Error in file(name, "wb") : cannot open the connection
I have tried going into the archive of these packages and installing older
versions, but no luck with those either.
I hope you can help. Best wishes, James

Maybe I missed the rest of the post? You are more likely to get help with your
problems if you create a minimal reproducible example.
Kindest regards,
